Questions.
The ones people actually ask at two in the morning, answered plainly. Nothing here is legal advice.
State law sets the premium at 10% of the bond amount. For a $5,000 bond the cost is $500; for a $10,000 bond it is $1,000. We offer payment plans if you do not have the full amount upfront. No agency in Ohio can lawfully quote you a different rate.
A cosigner, or indemnitor, is the person who guarantees the defendant will make every court date. If they skip, the cosigner is liable for the full bond amount. There can be more than one signer on a bond.
You must be at least 18, have a picture I.D., and have the ability to cover the full dollar amount of the bond. That is usually shown with collateral, steady employment, or simply having known the defendant a long time.
Once we post the bond, the jail processes the release on its own schedule and we do not control it. We monitor the process constantly and stay on the phone with you until they walk out.
No. We are a statewide and nationwide company with the resources to post bonds throughout the country. If we cannot post the bond for you, we will help you find a company who can.
Call (216) 505-0000 or come into the office. We are across the street from the Justice Center in downtown Cleveland, at 1200 West 3rd Street, Suite 190.
No. The premium is fully earned the moment the bond is posted and is not refundable, regardless of how the case turns out. That is set by law, not by us.
Still stuck?
Booking can take a few hours, so a name may not show up on a jail roster right away. Call us with the name and the arresting agency and we can usually find them before the website can.
Don't wait. Call now.
